While I still study and working with my company (EP) besides my other duties in national organisations in Sweden and overseas.
I need to slowly downshift but remaining the competence that made EP unique during the years.
That's by no means to shutting the doors, instead I will choose my projects and do my best.

Now my family had a new addition of a Elise Meghan Marion Margaery Hellöre, today she are a bit over 1 year old, if you are not sure about non biking related stuff (that´s the small head in the bottom and the body mounted to it.).

Hi everyone!
I will tell you all, I´m trying to run my company here so many hours I possibly can squeeze out from my time besides the university. It takes determination and motivation to run a company AND full time university studies. For example this term I´m doing 4 parallell courses which easily exceed 40 hours a week, I´m doing that a bit less but I have a supporting family with four small kids aged 3 to 7 years, they need a lot of attention and my mind and person have to be with them when I am at home. I know it is tough but with your patience I can make it all three things going well.

Currently I´m 2 months behind my schedule with most orders.
Some will be quickly done, some have missing components which I´ve ordered LONG time ago.

In the pipeline is:

Cannondale Hollowgram compatible crankarms with adjustable length - in carbon.
Boone titanium chainrings in some selected sizes - YES you are correct - I´m licensing Bruce Boones design to make the stuf he done.
They will be made of thick titanium, not water jet cutted, entirely done in a CNC mill, that will not be cheap and easily changed for different bolt circles.
Primarily I´m designing 104mm bolt circle and 64mm.
If people mail me with their wishes I can add more current bolt circles that WILL sell.

Until now I had run a small side business to repair carbon fiber parts.

But I have now expanded it a bit to be a shop which can repair damaged bike frames and stuf in carbon fiber for one of Sweden´s biggest insurance company.
It´s very fun to know there´s companies who appreciate my work.

Recently and currently I´m sick in sinusitis, bronchitis AND throat infection so I´m on heavy antibiotic to cure me asap.
Your orders are delivered, albeit slowly but they ARE delivering.

From september this year I have been studying full time in a University to be a mechanical engineer, I do have more than 12 years experience in mechanical engineering and design BUT no official exams to back it up.
The plan is to studying full time in at least to 2015.. Tough call but someone has to do this, in this end it will be me.
Your orders will be taken and in worst case I will work a smidge less than what I do now.
But until now I have been balancing on a knife edge with a wonderful balance, I´m balancing between full time studying and my shop, but most important is my family, the light in dark, a supporting wife Maja, my four headed demolition team at Aimee 5, Tristan 4, Aprilia 3, Juliana 1. Yes the numbers represent their age.
If you get a spotty chainring, that´s Tristan´s fault with his greasy fingers.

The year 2011 has been a tough year in many ways, emotionically very tough as my father has passed away, he was the idol of my childhood, he was a very skillful metal worker for 43 years at Ericsson in the stone age when they made telephone stuff in METAL not plastic like now, raising four small kids do require a LOT of patience but very rewarding most of time.

Physically my health has not been perfect, too much stress but I´m handling that better now, have to face the truth if I want to make my goals, something has to suffer - in this end it´s me.

You wanted some news?
This numbers is taken straight of my memory, so no exaggerations here, more a round sum is nicer to see.

Some data:

2 years That´s so long my shop is VAT registered, mostly in part time with other jobs that will pay for my family´s expenses.

3 Bikes I have built and then sold without using them at all!, a small machine shop has it´s up and downs.

32 m2 floor space, that´s a lot of my shop?, not really, in upcoming spring I will expand to double to get more floor space and storage.

1 Employee, Oscar who take your phone calls, sometimes he use e-mail.

1 CNC mill , 100% home made and is keeping tolerances within 0.05mm all the day.
